Emergency Procedures

Before an Emergency

Choose Emergency Contacts: Make sure that your school forms indicate anyone you want to be able to pick up your child in an emergency (friends, family, neighbors, etc.). No one, not even a relative or a babysitter, will be allowed to pick-up your child unless they are listed on the student’s white emergency card. Ensure that this person is likely to be local… write down both spouses if you choose a couple

Inform Emergency Contacts: Make sure that you inform these contacts that they are authorized to pick up your child

Special Medical Conditions: If your child has any special medical conditions, get a Medic Alert bracelet for them to wear at ALL times:http://www.medicalert.org

Phone Numbers with Child: Ensure that your child has your family’s emergency numbers in their backpack and if old enough, has memorized 1 or 2 key phone numbers, perhaps including an out-of-town relative

In an Emergency

Volunteering on Campus: If you are on campus, help the teacher get the children onto the blacktop

Procedure to Pick Up Your Child from School:

Come to school as soon as possible to retrieve your child

Park away from the exits

Go to the front office to sign out your child

Emergency Updates: If you are far away and desperately need an update, you can call the main line 831-335-4475 and if power and access are available, a general update will be recorded on the line

What Not to Do in an Emergency

Do NOT call the classroom numbers

Do NOT park in front of the office or red line zones which may block emergency vehicles

Do NOT attempt to retrieve your child without checking him or her out at the front office
